Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Consider oversized holes for thermal expansion.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can craze or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Utilize mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides
  • Low-friction bearings
  • Conveyor system components
  • Slide plates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not subject to continuous high temperatures exceeding the material's thermal limits, which can cause deformation and loss of mechanical properties.
